“Given today being Mother’s Day, I think it is an extremely tragic event,” Senior Sergeant Stephen Murray said at a press conference, according to The Advertiser newspaper.
“A 15-year old child has died and a seven-year old child is significantly injured, it is an extremely tragic event with the mother driving the vehicle at that time.”
Germein Gorge Road remains closed and drivers are asked to avoid the area.
